create something project - week 1 - pretty window displays


hello lovelies!  my goodness it has been quite a long day...i have been busy creating pretty things today, which is perfect....because it is sunday and it is the official start to the create something project.

as mentioned before the beautiful victoria of garden of eden designs is the mastermind behind this idea and she so generously asked that myself and the ladies of my best friend jules be hosts of this project along with her.

there are no rules...you simply create something...anything that you wish!  whether it be a dinner, a poem, a handmade card...anything :) then link up to our blogs so we can all see what you have created.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

i am excited to share a few images (keep in mind they are iphone pictures!) of what i spent creating today.  here are a few snapshots of the window display i have been working on...


oh yes...those are the old school paper chain links you used to make in kindergarten :) only this time i used pretty vintage inspired paper instead of the construction paper they used to provide us.

and do you see those random white spots dangling?  well those are jumbo puffed marshmallows that i suspended with fishing line...kinda looks like snow falling doesn't it?

here is a full window pic...so sorry for the bad sun glare.


in the middle where you see that table....we are going to be bringing in a maroon velvet mid century antique sofa...it will fit so perfectly between the dress forms!  i have a few more details that i need to add to this display as well as within the store tomorrow so there are more pictures (and better ones i might add) to come!

so what did you create?  remember to link up here and at the garden of eden designs and my best friend jules...we all want to see!
